Fill Dirt in Wayland, MO

Yes, fill dirt is generally cheaper per ton than crushed gravel or stone in the West Missouri area. Fill dirt is a bulk soil used to build grade and backfill, while gravel has added processing and transportation costs. Final price depends on local supplier availability and delivery distance to Wayland, so get a quote for an exact comparison.

In West Missouri, delivered fill dirt prices commonly range from about $12 to $50 per cubic yard, or roughly $15 to $60 per ton, depending on supplier, moisture content, and haul distance to Wayland.

For 1,000 sq ft, volume depends on depth: 2 inches needs about 6.2 cubic yards (≈7–8 tons), 4 inches needs about 12.3 cubic yards (≈15 tons), and 6 inches needs about 18.5 cubic yards (≈22–23 tons). Add 10–20% extra if you plan to compact or expect settlement. Use these numbers to request a quote or enter them in Hello Gravel’s materials calculator.

Hello Gravel commonly uses tri-axle dump trucks that carry about 12–14 cubic yards of loose fill dirt. That is roughly 14–18 tons depending on moisture; at 6 inches depth one truckload (12 yd3) will cover about 648 sq ft. Exact truck capacity and load weight can vary by supplier, so confirm with your quote if you need a precise single-load estimate.

One ton of fill dirt is roughly 0.8–0.9 cubic yards. That covers about 130–140 sq ft at 2 inches depth, about 65–70 sq ft at 4 inches, and about 43–47 sq ft at 6 inches. Use these figures to convert tons to coverage for your Wayland project.

No. Two inches of fill dirt is not sufficient for a driveway subgrade. For a driveway you should plan on 6–12 inches of properly compacted fill dirt (or engineered fill) beneath your base and surface material. Also consider hiring compaction equipment or a contractor to ensure proper support and drainage.

Delivery cost depends on order size, supplier location, and driveway access. Hello Gravel has a 3-ton minimum and many orders in rural West Missouri qualify for free or low-cost delivery, but remote drops can incur an extra fee—typical delivered orders in the area often fall between $100 and $700. Enter your address on Hello Gravel or call our team for an exact delivered price.

Hello Gravel’s minimum order nationwide is 3 tons, which applies to Wayland and the West Missouri region. Some suppliers or trucks may effectively require larger quantities because of truck capacity, so your quote will reflect the practical minimum for delivery to your site.

Some drivers may offer tailgate spreading at their discretion, but Hello Gravel does not guarantee spreading or compaction. Compaction is typically not included and often requires a separate contractor or rental of compaction equipment. If you need spreading or compaction, request it at checkout and plan on hiring a local crew if the driver cannot perform the work.

Measure the area in square feet and decide the target depth in inches. Multiply area by depth (in feet) to get cubic feet, divide by 27 to convert to cubic yards, then add 10–20% for compaction and settling and convert to tons using roughly 1.1–1.3 tons per cubic yard. Or use Hello Gravel’s online materials calculator and enter your zip code for a quick estimate.

You can add soil preferences or color notes during checkout, and suppliers in West Missouri will try to match requests where possible. Because Hello Gravel sources regionally, material texture and color vary by local geology, and we cannot guarantee an exact match. Contact customer service if a specific soil spec is critical for your project.

Clear a 12–20 foot wide access path and mark the preferred drop zone with flags or stakes so the driver can see where to unload. Check for overhead wires, low branches, and narrow roads—Wayland’s rural routes can affect truck access—and confirm property access with Hello Gravel ahead of delivery. If you need permits or neighbor approvals for a street-side drop, arrange those before delivery to avoid delays.

As of today, we require 2 business days for delivery.
